just use what works best
[Intro]
0:00
[Verse 1]
0:12
You build your walls from yesterday’s stone
0:12
Stacking the silence, calling it home
0:14
Turning your back to the rising tide
0:17
You name it peace — I call it a lie
0:20
You pray for time to hold its breath
0:22
As if the world will grant you rest
0:25
But every clock still beats its drum
0:28
And every dawn still dares to come
0:30
[Chorus]
0:34
You can't freeze the flame
0:34
Or unring the bell
0:38
You can't mend the ache
0:40
That time won't quell
0:43
You curse the wind for how it flies
0:45
But it won't stop to hear your cries
0:50
The world moves on — with or without your name
0:56
You can stand still, but you can't stop the change
1:02
[Verse 2]
1:19
You search for answers cast in stone
1:19
But truth was born to be overthrown
1:21
The mirror shows what you won’t see:
1:24
A soul afraid of being free
1:27
You want perfection — pure and bright
1:30
But we are shadows stitched to light
1:32
Flawed by design, we bleed and bend
1:35
It’s not a sickness. It’s what makes us men.
1:38
[Chorus]
1:42
You can't freeze the flame
1:42
Or unring the bell
1:45
You can't mend the ache
1:48
That time won't quell
1:50
You curse the wind for how it flies
1:53
But it won’t stop to hear your cries
1:58
The world moves on — with or without your name
2:03
You can stand still, but you can't stop the change
2:10
[Bridge]
2:16
So let the stars fall where they may
2:16
Let the paint run, let colors stray
2:21
You were never meant to last unchanged
2:26
Even mountains crack beneath the rain
2:29
[Final Chorus]
2:36
You can't freeze the flame
2:36
Or unring the bell
2:39
You can't outrun
2:42
The soul you sell
2:44
You curse the truth, you curse the sky
2:47
But even gods must learn to die
2:52
The world moves on — it sings its ancient song
2:57
You can break or bend — but still, it rolls alongSo here’s to the broken, to those unsure
3:03
To the timeless wound we all endure
3:14
There is no cure, no final page
3:18
Only the dance
3:23
Of grief and change
3:26
